The Best T-Shirt Ever

I found this t-shirt while Jared was sneaker shopping last night.  It’s a cupcake (or maybe a muffin but I’m trying to stick with my theme here).  With legs.  Running on a treadmill.
OMG, it’s ridiculous.  Ridiculously awesome.
Of course I wore it to Body Pump today.  I had to do something special because today [...]

Runners Raffle

Patricia from Run Foodie Run is hosting a raffle to win a Garmin Forerunner 305!  Enter from March 5-April for your chance to win!

I had a bowl of Kashi cereal for breakfast.

It didn’t keep my full for very long.  After an hour at work, I started munching on some Cinnamon flavored Food Should Taste Good [...]

Free Food from Boloco

I had Monday night’s leftovers for lunch today.  Penne and 1/2 of a pork sausage with sauce and a bit of olive oil.
It was such a nice day and I knew I didn’t want to spend it inside on the treadmill.  I grabbed my sneakers, sunglasses, and i-pod and headed outside.  I did a few [...]

The Votes are In

Still refusing to go grocery shopping so I had to make instant oatmeal this morning.  I added some Crofter’s Organic Superfruit Spread and a spoonful of Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter to create PB&J oats.  Yummmmm!
Plus I enjoyed a fresh cup of coffee once I got to the office along with some cinnamon almonds.
The Votes [...]

The End of the Beginning

I had the longest staff meeting this morning/afternoon and ended up eating 2 slices of pizza that my boss provided for the crew.  So my half-ass version of Ants on a Log was a healthy afternoon snack after a greasy lunch.
I didn’t have a lot of time for a “lunch break” so I quickly hit [...]

A Mixed Up Monday

So this post is going to be a big mix up of foods.  From dinner Sunday night all the way until breakfast this morning.

Typical Sunday night =Sushi + the Amazing Race
I ordered Sweet Potato Tempura rolls and Kappa Maki rolls.  Jared’s fishy fish rolls were squeezed in between my nice veggie rolls.

Mmm, plus edamame on [...]

Mas o Menos

Sunday Brunch at Masa was delicious.  However my order was, ehhh “mas o menos.”
My family and Jared’s made plans to share a morning meal!

My parents and Jared’s parents were introduced for the first time.  After meeting and greeting, we shared a basket of sweet corn bread.  OMG, so very tasty!

My mom ordered a Mimosa and [...]

50’s Flair

I purchased this dress from Anthropologie to wear to Jenna’s wedding in July.
Even got the approval of the mother and father of the groom.  Thanks for the compliments Kris and Bob!
As you can see in the photo, it’s a white dress with orange, yellow, and white flowers.
I know the wedding is still 4 months away.  [...]

Sportello

I was really excited to make reservations at Sportello for dinner in Saturday night.  Sportello is on Congress Street in Southie, close to the Waterfront area.

We arrived 30 minutes before our scheduled reservation, thinking we’d grab a drink at the bar.  Sportello doesn’t have a bar area so we were directed downstairs to Drink.  Drink [...]

Quick, rewind to Friday afternoon….

I used my leftover Chicken Picatta in a veggie-filled salad.

I snacked an a healthy bar.
I was feeling pretty sore from Body Pump so my gym time consisted of 15 sweaty minutes in the sauna.  I’m not making any excuses.  It was a much needed day off!

I always want to be comfortable [...]
